Hey- I wasn't trying with my first born March 22nd. It was the first time in my life I had had unprotected sex- granted I am 28 and married. I was taken off of bc because of migraines and forgot condoms on our anniversary weeekend. I ate, drank, relaxed and had sex. Well, my SIL out of nowhere mentioned ovulation calenders. So I googled one and I couldn't believe it, based on my last period the days we had been away were supposedly when I was ovulating. And I was pregnant. So my advice is to RELAX, try not to think about it and also to look up your ovulation calender, you could call you doc for a more precise one and if you think you have an irregular schedule you can buy an ovulation kit from the drug store. It took my SIL many years to get pregnant before she realized that she had an irregular ovulation and once she started using the store bought predictor she was pregnant in months. Good luck, relax, relax, relax. I know easier said than done- I have a migraine disorder and can't get this baby weight off and don't want to get pregs again till I lost 10 more lbs and feel like I am behind on my "life goals", ideally I would have been 6 mons. pregnant already. But sometimes life has other plans and I'll have to remember that when I go to try again so I don't stress myself out :)

Me! Total surprise tho. I was weaning breastfeeding. I also started to go out and have a few drinks since I didn't need much milk anymore. Alcohol makes you careless and not think about it. Now I am getting my boy. (had girl in March) I also checked my days app which tells u when u ovalate and it was that weekend we went out. So def get the app! Good luck. I'll have my baby in Sept.

Yes too much sex is bad. Well not bad but for getting preggers it is. Lol. It takes 3 days for the sperm to be fertilized so if your having sex a lot then he will be shooting blanks and he needs to keep himself cool. Or his nether region anyway. Lol. Good luck.

I agree with others about the ovulation calendar/tests. I also recently read that if you are not overweight, and you work out moderately or vigorously 5 or more hours per week, it can take you longer to get pregnant. So, you may want to tone down your workouts until you get pregnant.

About four years ago I participated in a study called The EGAR study. Basically, they were trying to prove the theory that low dose asprin (81mg) is effective in reproduction and successful pregnancies. The idea is that if you take one low dose asprin every day, it will bring more blood flow to the reproductive organs, helping you to conceive. I don't know if I took the asprin, or a placebo, but I did get pregnant on the study. Here is a link to the website:

We had sex every other day for a month (then he went out of town the last 2 months) And I didn't get preggers :( I have an app on my phone that I track my periods with that also tells me when I should ovulate (& do a breast exam) I started working out again serioulsy since I gave birth about 3 weeks ago. I'm not killing myself at the gym. I'm doing 3 different dvds. Yoga/dance, hip-hop dance & brazil butt lift lol. The workouts are 20-30 mins each. I work out 5x a week.
